Printing stopped working overnight on Debian testing, possibly due to
cron-apt running. I tried to remove and reinstall, and I am facing
the following messages:

I've looked at cupsd.conf, and to my untrained eyes lines 531 and 772
look valid, as everything is within the 192.168.123.255 netmask:
531:
BrowseAddress x.y.z.255
772 with context:
<Location />
Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
Allow From 127.0.0.1
Allow From 192.168.123.*
</Location>
Can someone give me a pointer?
